I've only ever gotten along with a couple people here, and they weren't the reason I showed up since we could talk elsewhere. Now? I don't know. I'm trying not to be so cruel and will probably use this as a place to practice NOT treating people like total shit, and also to blog about my rats once I can finally post pictures. How about you?

CaptBuzzKiII 07/30/25 1:05:04 PM #5:	Ive always viewed GameFAQs as a live action role playing game where you can create a character and have it interact with other people and characters on the message boards. Was a lot of fun when I was younger, but now as Ive gotten older and more work and family responsibilities, I just dont have the same energy to keep it up. Now mainly continue to come for nostalgia and some occasional fun. Not to be a buzzkill or anything but this site will eventually die off and then Ill probably just do Reddit more. <cite>CaptBuzzKiII posted [p:985936463] in Why do you...

I came here in 2003 because my boyfriend spent an inordinate amount of time here, and I wanted to know what was up. Thinking about it, I probably lied in the OP. The real reason I came back in the first place was more like jealousy. I got along with some people here, but shit often got turned on its head by said boyfriend. So I left so long as he was here, but always sort of wished I could come back. Then, when I did, people either didnt remember me, or assumed I was someone else, and got really shitty about it. Tainted by association, which is fair - I did marry someone who wasn't exactly nice to them, and then I wasn't exactly nice to them, and eventually just started showing up to be a bitch. <cite>Realthuddydrumz posted [p:985937092] in Why do you...

There are some fantastic subreddits with some great people, they just take a bit of effort to find. Stay away from the front page and the major public subreddits for a start. Avoid anything politics related. If you're looking at video game subreddits, stay away from the more popular games, or games with a competitive or contentious community. Smaller games and older games tend to have much better communities. As do chill games like Stardew Valley. I post on about a dozen or so subreddits that have way more interesting conversations than anything I see on GameFAQs these days. But I'd never venture out into more mainstream boards. And the Popular feed is pretty much entirely gutter trash. The contrast is amazing. (In a way, it's like 4chan used to be back in the day. /b/ was always terrible, but you could still enjoy boards like /co/ or /tv/ or /ck/ and have interesting conversations with relatively normal people who shared your interests.

It varies but I post while I'm pooping also, aka this reply, or during Uber rides. Today, I walked a 1/2 mile in 95 degree heat with a backpack holding a 15pk of beer after working 8 straight hours without a break running a produce department at a major grocery chain where I walked at least 6 miles just doing my job while moving around several hundred pounds worth of goods. I usually do all of this in a fasting state. I caught the 3:14 bus after clocking out at 2:45. After a short ride, I waited 5 mins and caught another bus that I got off of at about 4:15.

bachewychomp 07/31/25 12:35:16 PM #36:	Cause life sucks and I guess this scratches some kind of nostalgic itch for me. Not like my life was really that amazing when this board was in its "prime" either, but I like all of the "old internet" aspects about it that people have mentioned already. No karma farming and a discrete, time-based organization of threads rather than an algorithmic infinite scroll. ParanoidObsessive posted... Plus the last time I was gone for a month or so people were threatening to dox me and call the police to try and find me, so I'm not sure I'm allowed to leave before the site as a a whole dies. If you really think that's why you can't leave, then you just need to swallow your pride and make an "I'm leaving" topic. Or go nuclear and close your account if you'd rather do it quietly but leave people no doubt. Or just not worry about it because I don't think you've given out enough info over the years for people to have much luck doxxing you. Or maybe it's not that big a deal anyway. It all depends on if you're good at using the net in moderation, which I'm admittedly not. It's like these infinite scroll sites have conditioned me so hard that I'll still refresh a site like PotD regularly even though I know there aren't going to be new posts. TBF, back in the day with PotD there were new posts every five minutes or so... but I know it's not like that anymore. Anyway yeah I'm not good at the whole concept of like "only check the site when pooping". Instead what I've been doing is setting aside days where I just won't look at all, I tend to be all or nothing. <cite>bachewychomp posted [p:985947718] in Why do you...

Nursereena 08/01/25 4:59:01 PM #46:	As a victim of domestic abuse, threats, and stalking I periodically keep tabs on my exs whereabouts (who posts prolifically) so that I can have peace of mind. After leaving the state of California (and after being clear across the country), he could have chosen anywhere in the entire country to live and he chose to move within a couple of miles of the home we last shared. He then proceeded to send me an email letting me know i might see him walking around the neighborhood. I wish I didn't have to keep tabs on this disgusting man in order to feel safe. Moving cities away doesnt even give me enough peace of mind. I have nothing to say to him, I just wanted to remove any ambiguity as to my reasons for it. <cite>Nursereena posted [p:985962232] in Why do you...

I had no idea the full extent of what you were dealing with - mostly because your ex is a liar and changes his story every time you ask about it. I have tried to suggest some introspection to him, and even offered to have my husband foot the bill for his rehab, no strings attached, and got blocked for my trouble which is whatever. Seriously sorry you are going through that. I've been privy to enough of the situation to understand that your fear is coming from a person whose lifestyle you used to fund while they did little other than abuse you in return, and that really just pisses me off. <cite>Realthuddydrumz posted [p:985962513] in Why do you...
